Nottingham Forest history
Founded in 1865, Forest have an odd distinction: they are the only European team to have won the European Cup more often than their own domestic league. They won Europe's top prize twice, in 1979 and 1980, but the English title just once. Brian Clough and Peter Taylor managed the club through that late 1970s and early 1980s golden spell.
Clough's last decade added League Cups in 1989 and 1990, and Forest lost the 1991 FA Cup final and the 1992 League Cup final before going down from the Premier League in 1993. They came straight back and finished third in 1995, then fell again in 1997 and 1999. A play-off win in 2022 returned them to the Premier League. The overall haul includes four League Cups, two FA Cups and one UEFA Super Cup.
